Right after he said this, all three of them revealed confused looks.
Tian Tian however recovered the quickest and said, “You’re telling me that you want me to accept two random people that you brought out of nowhere as mercenaries? What part of that did you think that I would agree to?”
Lin Fan just calmly said, “Anonymity, that is what the Mercenary Guild is all about, isn’t it?”
Tian Tian narrowed her eyes to look at him before saying, “That is when we can guarantee that we will be able to track them down if they do anything wrong. But it’s different when you bring two elves here.”
Flora and the younger elf lowered their heads when they heard this.
They couldn’t help feeling awkward at being treated like this because they were elves, but they understood where she was coming from.
Tian Tian then said, “You should know that I’ll be the one who will get in trouble if I do something like this.”
Lin Fan had already expected her to say this, so he said, “That is unless I back them as the Dungeon City City Lord. As long as I vouch for them and promise to take responsibility for anything that happens, it should be fine, right?”
The moment that Tian Tian heard this, she immediately narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan.
The way that she looked at him wasn’t just a normal glare, but rather there was a bit of spite in it. This spite that was in her eyes came from her personal feelings since she thought that Lin Fan was only doing this because he wanted to…
But seeing the look on his face, that spite slowly disappeared before she said, “It’s possible, but are you sure that you want to do this?”
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod and said, “I’m willing to do this because I trust them.”
When Flora and the younger elf heard this, they couldn’t help revealing shocked looks.
The younger elf more than Flora since she was very aware of the way that she acted towards Lin Fan.
Even if Lin Fan trusted Flora because of how she had treated him, he shouldn’t feel the same way about the younger elf. So what would make sense is that he would vouch for Flora to become a mercenary and only allow her to enter the dungeon.
In a way, that could be considered a compromise that she could accept.
She never expected him to vouch for her as well.
When he acted this way, she couldn’t help feeling touched even with her personal feelings about Lin Fan. With him acting this way, she couldn’t help relaxing her bias against him.
If even the younger elf felt this way, there was no doubt that Flora was also touched by this.
In the end, Tian Tian accepted this and brought out the forms that they needed to fill out.
Since Lin Fan was vouching for them, they could ignore most of the information that needed to be filled out on this form. All they had to do was fill in the very basic information about them.
With that done, Tian Tian left the room to file these forms and to prepare their Mercenary Licenses.
When they were left alone, Flora couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan to say, “Thank you.”
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response, as if this wasn’t a big deal.
After that, Flora turned to the younger elf and pinched her arm. The younger elf had been hesitating, but since Flora had pinched her arm like this, she lowered her head and said in a soft voice, “Thank you.”
Lin Fan also gave her a simple nod as well.
Then the room once again fell into silence as not a single one of them said a thing.
Lin Fan was just sitting there lost in thought while the two elf girls didn’t know what to say.
When they were shown this kind of kindness, it really was hard for them to react, so they didn’t know how to react to it.
Luckily, it didn’t take long for Tian Tian to come back with the Mercenary Licenses.
She had set their ranks at the lowest rank at first since she didn’t want to attract any attention with this matter.
However, the two elves didn’t mind since they understood that an exception had been made for them.
Even if they would be restricted in where they could go in the dungeon, they didn’t mind since they knew that they wouldn’t have been allowed in without Lin Fan’s kindness. So they wouldn’t betray that kindness by breaking the rules that had been set.
Even though the rules had been set by Lin Fan and Tian Tian in the first place.
Now that they had received their Mercenary License, Lin Fan quickly approved of their request to enter the dungeon since he had brought the forms with him.
Once that was done, the two elves were free to enter the dungeon, so they both revealed excited looks.
They immediately put on their cloaks again and stood up, as if they were about to run into the dungeon. But before they could run out of the room, they suddenly stopped as if they had suddenly remembered something.
The two of them turned back to Lin Fan to watch him slowly stand up from where he was sitting and walk over to them. Then just like that, the three of them walked out of the room.
Tian Tian just sat there watching them leave, but once they were gone…she stood up as well.
The look in her eyes made it clear that she was going to tell the other girls about what had happened.
Once they walked out of the Mercenary Guild, it was time for them to separate.
But the two elf girls couldn’t help feeling awkward since Lin Fan had helped them so much and they weren’t able to repay him at all.𝗈𝓥𝑙𝐞xt.𝑪𝔬𝔪
Lin Fan didn’t seem to mind this and turned to head back to the city hall without saying anything.
However, before he could leave, Flora suddenly grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Do you want to come with us into the dungeon?”
Lin Fan was surprised to be asked this suddenly, but he raised the folder in his hand and said, “I have to go turn this in first.”
Flora immediately gave an ‘oh’ sound before letting go. But then she said, “We can wait for you if you want.”
Lin Fan shook his head before saying with a smile, “I still have other things to do, so you don’t need to mind me.”
Flora once again gave an ‘oh’ sound since she remembered that the one that she was talking to was the city lord of this city. There was no doubt that he would be a very busy person, just taking the time out of his schedule to help them was already him doing a lot for them.
So all she could do was lower her head again and say, “Thank you.”
Lin Fan walked off and didn’t turn back, but he did raise his hand to wave at them.
But even though he said that he was going back to city hall, he actually went to one of the public facilities nearby. The city ran many public facilities and there were workers of city hall all over the place.
Lin Fan casually handed the folder over to one of the workers that was happy to do this task for him since they recognized him immediately.
Once he was free of this, Lin Fan headed into the dungeon.
But of course, he didn’t take the same entrance as everyone else.
He took the secret entrance that would lead him into the backside of the dungeon and he quickly made his way to Rokuko’s room.
Since he had been busy during this time, Rokuko had locked herself up in the dungeon to do the things that she wanted to do. Namely, she locked herself up in the room she had made for herself to catch up on the games she wanted to play.
When Lin Fan suddenly appeared in this room, she couldn’t help being caught off guard. But she quickly revealed a happy look and came over to greet him.
But Lin Fan just ignored her and went to the dungeon monitoring equipment.
Rokuko was confused by this, so she watched what he was doing over his shoulder.
Lin Fan quickly went through the entire dungeon until he found the two cloaked figures he was looking for.
Once he did, he grabbed Rokuko who was over his shoulder and pushed her face into the crystal ball in front of them before saying, “Keep a watch over them at all times. As long as these two step into the dungeon, make sure that you are watching them.”
Rokuko was completely confused by this and she asked, “What’s going on?”
Lin Fan didn’t answer and just said, “Keep watch over them, understand?”
Rokuko was still confused, but she knew that the only way to get out of this was to promise him, so she said, “Alright, alright, I’ll do it!”
Once she said this, Lin Fan finally let her go.
Rokuko fell to the ground after Lin Fan let go of her and she said in an angry voice, “What is this for? Why did you have to grab me like that?”
Lin Fan calmed down a bit after hearing her agree, so he helped her up in front of him before telling her the story of the two cloaked figures.
“You’re telling me that they’re here to capture me?” Rokuko said in a shocked voice.
